Current Swiss National Road Race champion Danilo Wyss has extended his contract with BMC Racing Team.

2017 will mark Wyss’ tenth season with BMC Racing Team, which is a testament to both his career and capabilities as a rider, General Manager Jim Ochowicz said.

“Danilo is one of the originals of BMC Racing Team. He came to us in 2008 when the team was at the Pro Continental level, and as BMC Racing Team has developed, so too has Danilo,” Ochowicz said.

“He’s a fantastic rider and a real asset to the team, so it was an easy mutual decision to continue the partnership beyond the current season. With our ties to Switzerland through our title sponsor BMC Switzerland, it’s always nice to have Swiss riders in our roster.”

Wyss echoed Ochowicz’ sentiments.

“I am really happy to be staying with BMC Racing Team, particularly as it’s my tenth year and a really nice, long story and partnership. I was there at the beginning and I really like the way the team has grown. It’s nice to see BMC Racing Team continuing on and I’m very happy to be part of it,” Wyss explained.

In keeping with BMC Racing Team policy, no other details of the contract were released.
